Precautionary Statements

Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals

WARNING. Causes substantial but temporary eye injury.

Harmful if swallowed. DO NOT get in eyes or on clothing.

Avoid contact with skin. Prolonged or frequently repeated

skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some

individuals.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Applicators and other handlers must wear:

• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants

• Shoes plus socks

• Chemical-resistant gloves made of barrier laminate, butyl

rubber ≥ 14 mils, or nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils. Replace

gloves after 8 hours of use (either continuous or intermit-

tent). Thoroughly rinse gloves with water between

intermittent uses.

• Protective eyewear (face shield, goggles, or safety

glasses)

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and

maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables

exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE

separately from other laundry. Discard clothing and other

absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily

contaminated with this product’s concentrate. DO NOT

reuse them.

Engineering Controls

When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or air-

craft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the

Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural

pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE

requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in

the WPS.

IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a

closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all

PPE specified above for applicators and other handlers

and have such PPE immediately available for use in an

emergency, including a spill or equipment breakdown.

Environmental Hazards

For terrestrial uses, DO NOT apply directly to water, areas

where surface water is present, or intertidal areas below

the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water

when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.

Groundwater Advisory. Saflufenacil has properties and

characteristics associated with chemicals detected in

groundwater. This chemical may leach into groundwater if

used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where

the water table is shallow. Dimethenamid-P has properties

that may result in groundwater contamination. Application

in areas where soils are permeable or coarse and ground-

water is near the surface could result in groundwater

contamination.

Surface Water Advisory. This product may impact sur-

face water due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Users should:

• Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after han-

dling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using

tobacco, or using the toilet.

• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets

inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.

Note to Physician: Contains petroleum distillate. Vomiting may cause aspiration pneumonia.

for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater.

This product is classified as having high potential for reach-

ing surface water via runoff for several weeks after

application. A level, well-maintained buffer strip between

areas to which this product is applied and surface water

features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce

the potential loading of this chemical from runoff water and

sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoid-

ing application when rainfall is forecast to occur within

48 hours.

Point-source Contamination. To prevent point-source

contamination, DO NOT mix or load this or any other pes-

ticide product within 50 feet of wells (including abandoned

wells and drainage wells), sinkholes, perennial or intermit-

tent streams and rivers, and natural or impounded lakes

and reservoirs. This setback does not apply to properly

capped or plugged abandoned wells and does not apply to

impervious pad or dike mixing/loading areas described as

follows.

Mixing, loading, rinsing, or washing operations performed

within 50 feet of a well are allowed only when conducted

on an impervious pad constructed to withstand the weight

of the heaviest load that may be on or move across the

pad. The pad must be self-contained to prevent surface

water flow over or from the pad. The pad capacity must be

maintained at 110% that of the largest pesticide container

or application equipment used on the pad and have suffi-

cient capacity to contain all product spills, equipment or

container leaks, equipment washwater, and rainwater that

may fall on the pad. The containment capacity does not

apply to vehicles delivering pesticide shipments to the mix-

ing and/or loading site. States may have in effect additional

requirements regarding wellhead setbacks and operational

containment.

Care must be taken when using this product to prevent:

• Back-siphoning into wells

• Spills

• Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixes, or

rinsates

Check valves or anti-siphoning devices must be used on all

mixing equipment.

Movement Dissolved in Runoff or Through Soil.

DO NOT apply under conditions that favor runoff.

DO NOT apply to impervious substrates including paved

or highly compacted surfaces or frozen soils. Groundwater

contamination may occur in areas where soils are perme-

able or coarse and groundwater is near the surface. To

minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination,

carefully follow application rate specifications as affected by

soil type in the Application Instructions section of this

label. DO NOT apply if all 3 criteria exist:

1. Coarse soils classified as sand (does not include loamy

sand or sandy loam)

2. Less than 3% organic matter (as determined by soil

tests, if not known)

3. Where depth to groundwater is 30 feet or less

Movement by Water Erosion of Treated Soil. DO NOT

apply or incorporate this product by flood or furrow irriga-

tion. Ensure treated areas have received at least 1/2 inch of

rainfall before using tailwater for subsequent irrigation of

other fields.

Product Information

Verdict® herbicide is a selective residual preemergence

herbicide for controlling most annual grass weeds, annual

broadleaf weeds, and sedges in field corn, popcorn, pro-

cessing sweet corn, grain sorghum, and soybean (refer to

Table 1 for a list of weeds controlled preemergence).

Residual preemergence application of Verdict must be

activated by at least 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation

before weed seedling emergence. When Verdict is not

activated, a labeled postemergence herbicide or cultivation

may be needed to control weed escapes.

Verdict also provides contact burndown of many broadleaf

weeds (refer to Table 2 for a list of weeds controlled by a

burndown application). An adjuvant (refer to Additives

section for details) is required with Verdict for optimum

broadleaf burndown activity. Burndown application of

Verdict should be made when broadleaf weeds are small

and actively growing. Burndown activity may be slowed or

reduced under cloudy and/or foggy or cooler weather con-

ditions, or when weeds are growing under drought or other

stress conditions. When targeting dense weed populations

and/or larger broadleaf weeds, use a higher application

rate within an application rate range and/or higher spray

volumes. Angling nozzles forward (to 45 degrees) may

improve penetration of denser weed canopies.

Tank mixes with contact herbicides (e.g. carfentrazone,

paraquat) may reduce the burndown activity of Verdict.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL (continued)

Container Handling (continued)

Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining

contents into application equipment or mix tank and con-

tinue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.

Hold container upside down over application equipment

or mix tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal.

Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container

and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain

for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.

Refillable Container. Refill this container with pesticide

only. DO NOT reuse this container for any other purpose.

Triple rinsing the container before final disposal is the

responsibility of the person disposing of the container.

Cleaning before refilling is the responsibility of the refiller.

Triple rinse as follows: To clean the container before

final disposal, empty the remaining contents from this

container into application equipment or mix tank. Fill the

container about 10% full with water. Agitate vigorously or

recirculate water with the pump for 2 minutes. Pour or

pump rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collec-

tion system. Repeat this rinsing procedure two more

times.

When this container is empty, replace the cap and seal all

openings that have been opened during use; return the

container to the point of purchase or to a designated

location. This container must only be refilled with a pesti-

cide product. Prior to refilling, inspect carefully for damage

including cracks, punctures, abrasions, worn out threads

and closure devices. Check for leaks after refilling and

before transport. DO NOT transport if this container is

damaged or leaking. If the container is damaged, or leak-

ing, or obsolete and not returned to the point of purchase

or to a designated location, triple rinse emptied container

and offer for recycling, if available, or dispose of container

in compliance with state and local regulations.

Mode of Action

Verdict® herbicide combines two active ingredients:

saflufenacil, a potent inhibitor of protoporphyrinogen-

oxidase belonging to herbicide mode-of-action

Group 14 (WSSA)/Group E (HRAC), and dimethenamid-P,

a chloroacetamide belonging to the herbicide

mode-of-action Group 15/Group K3. Saflufenacil is rapidly

absorbed by roots and foliage. Following inhibition of the

protoporphyrinogen-oxidase, plant death is the result of

membrane damage. Under active growing conditions, sus-

ceptible emerging weed seedlings usually develop chlorotic

and necrotic injury symptoms within hours and die within a

few days. Susceptible germinating weed seeds usually die

as they reach the soil surface or shortly after emergence.

Dimethenamid-P is a root-and-shoot inhibitor that controls

susceptible weed seedlings before or soon after they

emerge from the soil.

Herbicide Resistance Management

While weed resistance to protoporphyrinogen-oxidase -

inhibiting herbicides is relatively infrequent, populations of

resistant biotypes are known to exist. Resistance manage-

ment should be part of a diversified weed control strategy

that integrates chemical, cultural, and mechanical (tillage)

control tactics. Cultural control tactics include crop rotation,

proper fertilizer placement, and optimum seeding rate/row

spacing. Consult your local BASF representative, state

cooperative extension service, professional consultants, or

other qualified authority to determine appropriate actions if

you suspect resistant weeds. Herbicide resistance manage-

ment practices should be considered and include:

Chemical Control1. Start clean with tillage or an effective burndown herbi-

cide program.

2. DO NOT rely on a single herbicide site of action for

weed control.

3. Follow labeled application rate and weed growth stage

specifications.

4. Avoid application of herbicides with the same site of

action more than twice a season.

5. Use tank mixes and sequential applications with other

herbicides possessing different sites of action that are

also effective on the target weeds.

6. Use crop rotation so crop competition, tillage, or herbi-

cides with alternative modes of action can be used to

control weed escapes.

Scouting and Containment1. Scout fields after herbicide application to identify areas

where weed control was ineffective.

2. Control weed escapes with herbicides possessing a dif-

ferent site of action or use a mechanical control

measure. Weed escapes should not be allowed to

reproduce by seed or to proliferate vegetatively.

3. Contact your Verdict supplier and/or your local BASF

representative to report weed escapes.

4. Clean equipment before moving to a different field to

avoid spread of resistant weeds.

Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies

to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to one

or more herbicides is recommended.

Crop Tolerance

Field corn, popcorn, processing sweet corn,

grain sorghum, and soybean are tolerant to Verdict when

applied according to label directions as a preplant to

preemergence treatment and under normal environmental

conditions. Crop injury may occur under stressful growing

conditions (e.g. low soil fertility, seedling disease, extreme

hot or cold weather, excessive moisture, high soil pH, high

soil salt concentration, or drought).

Severe crop injury will result if Verdict is applied

postemergence (over the top) to corn, sorghum, or

soybean.

Application Instructions

Verdict may be applied preplant surface, preplant incorpo-

rated, or preemergence to field corn, popcorn, processing

sweet corn, grain sorghum, and soybean. Apply Verdict

only before crop emergence.

Rainfastness - Verdict is rainfast 1 hour after application.

Burndown activity may be reduced if rain or irrigation

occurs within 1 hour of application.

Application Rate

Application rates of Verdict for residual preemergence

weed control may vary depending on soil texture and

organic matter. Refer to Table 3 for soil texture groups

used in this label.

Table 3. Soil Texture Groups

Refer to the Crop-specific Information section for spe-

cific application directions and the restrictions and

precautions by crop use and pattern.

Application Methods and Equipment

Verdict may be applied by ground or air. Thorough spray

coverage is important for optimum weed control and can

be improved with proper adjuvant, nozzle, and spray vol-

ume selection.

Use and configure application equipment to provide an

adequate spray volume, an accurate and uniform distribu-

tion of spray droplets over the treated area, and to avoid

spray drift to nontarget areas. Adjust equipment to main-

tain continuous agitation during spraying with good

mechanical or bypass agitation. Avoid overlaps that

increase rates above the use rates specified in this label.

Verdict® herbicide may be applied using water or

sprayable fluid nitrogen fertilizer solutions as the spray car-

rier. Additionally, Verdict may be impregnated on and

applied with dry bulk fertilizer.

Aerial Application Requirements

Water Volume. Use 3 or more gallons of water per acre.

Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the

potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from aerial

applications:

1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom

must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan or

90% of rotor blade diameter.

2. Use low-drift nozzles (straight-stream nozzles, D-8 or

larger). DO NOT use nozzles producing a mist droplet

spray.

3. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the

airstream and never be pointed downward more than

45 degrees.

4. Without compromising aircraft safety, application must

be made at a height of 10 feet or less above the crop

canopy or tallest plants.

5. DO NOT apply during periods of temperature inversions

or stable atmospheric conditions.

6. Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by

maintaining a 120-feet buffer between the point of direct

application and the closest downwind edge of sensi-

tive terrestrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas,

shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, shrub

lands, and crop lands).

Ground Application RequirementsSpray Carrier Volume. Use 3 or more gallons of water

per acre or 20 or more gallons of sprayable fluid fertilizer

per acre. Thorough coverage of existing vegetation is

essential for burndown applications and higher spray vol-

umes may be necessary for better performance.

Applicators must follow these requirements to reduce the

potential of spray drift to nontarget areas from ground

applications:

1. Apply this product using nozzles that deliver medium-

to-coarse spray droplets as defined by ASAE

standard S-572 and as shown in nozzle manufacturer’s

catalogs. Flat-fan nozzles are recommended for burn-

down applications while flood-jet type nozzles are

recommended for residual soil surface applications.

Nozzles that deliver coarse spray droplets may be used

to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per

acre (GPA) is increased to maintain coverage of target

(i.e. weeds or soil surface). DO NOT use nozzles that

produce fine (e.g. cone) spray droplets.

2. Apply this product only when the potential for drift to

adjacent nontarget areas is minimal (e.g. when the wind

is 10 MPH or less and is blowing away from nontar-

get areas). DO NOT apply during periods of temperature

inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.

3. Avoid potential adverse effects to nontarget areas by

maintaining a 60-feet buffer between the application

area and the closest downwind edge of sensitive ter-

restrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts,

woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas, shrub lands, and

crop lands).

Ground Application (dry bulk fertilizer)Verdict may be impregnated or coated onto dry bulk gran-

ular fertilizer carriers for residual soil surface application.

Impregnation or coating may be conducted by in-plant bulk

or on-board systems. Perform the mixing operation in well-

ventilated areas.

Addition of a drying agent may be necessary if the fertilizer

and herbicide blend is too wet for uniform application

because of high humidity, high urea concentration, or low

fertilizer use rate. Slowly add the drying agent to the blend

until a flowable mixture is obtained. Drying agents are not

recommended for use with on-board impregnation

systems.

Under some conditions, fertilizer impregnated with Verdict

may clog air tubes or deflector plates on pneumatic appli-

cation systems. Mineral oil may be added to Verdict

before blending with fertilizer to reduce plugging. DO NOT

use drying agents when mineral oil is used. To avoid sepa-

ration of Verdict and mineral oil mixes in cold

temperatures, keep mixture heated or agitated before

blending with fertilizer. Mineral oil may be used at

in-plant blending stations or on-board injection systems.

Generally, fertilizer application rates of at least 200 lbs to

700 lbs per acre of herbicide and fertilizer blend provide

adequate distribution or coverage for Verdict across the

soil surface. Apply uniformly to the soil to prevent possible

crop injury and offer satisfactory weed control. Impregnat -

ed fertilizer spread at 1/2 rate and overlapped for a full rate

offer a more uniform distribution. Use shallow (less than

2 inches) incorporation for improved weed control. Deeper

incorporation dilutes the herbicide layer near the soil sur-

face and may result in unsatisfactory weed control.

To calculate the herbicide rate when using dry bulk fertilizer

applications:

Chemigation Application via Sprinkler

Irrigation SystemsVerdict may be applied as a chemigation treatment

through sprinkler irrigation systems. Apply this product

ONLY through a sprinkler irrigation system of the following

type: center pivot, end tow, hand move, lateral move,

side (wheel) roll, or solid set. DO NOT apply this product

through any other type of sprinkler irrigation system.

Application may be made alone or in tank mixes with other

herbicides on this label registered for use in specified sprin-

kler irrigation systems. Application must be made within

specific crop stage timings and product use rates given in

the container directions for use label.

Uniform distribution of Verdict® herbicide-treated irrigation

water is the sole responsibility of the applicator and is

required to avoid crop injury, lack of herbicide

effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop. For

calibration questions, contact State Extension Service spe-

cialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts.

Proper calibration is the responsibility of the applicator. The

system must be calibrated (with water only) to ensure the

amount of Verdict applied corresponds to the specified

rate. Apply Verdict in volume minimums of 0.33 to

0.67 inches of water using the lower volume for coarse-

texture soils and the higher volume for fine-texture soils.

Applications made in high volumes of water (more than

1 inch) may result in reduced weed control.

Meter herbicide dilution into irrigation water through the

entire time of water application for center pivot and lateral

move systems. For solid-set and hand-move irrigation

systems, apply Verdict through the system at the begin-

ning of the set; then follow with additional water to reach

volume minimums as listed by soil type. To increase cali-

bration accuracy of injection metering equipment, dilute

Verdict in a minimum of 3 parts water to 1 part Verdict.

Maintain agitation in injection nurse tanks to keep a uniform

herbicide suspension during application.

Restrictions for chemigation:

1. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the

area intended for treatment.

2. DO NOT connect an irrigation system used for pesticide

application to a public water system unless the pesticide

label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems

are in place.

3. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and

responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of

the responsible person, shall shut the system down and

make necessary adjustments should the need arise.

4. Tail water (runoff water) from chemigation that contains

Verdict must be recirculated and/or contained in the

field in a cistern or holding reservoir from the initial appli-

cation and/or used only on adjacent, approved crops for

which Verdict is registered for this type of application.

5. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a function-

al, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the

flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. It must also

contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated

valve located on the intake side of the injection pump

and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid

from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the

irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut

down.

6. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain a func-

tional check valve, vacuum-relief valve, and low-pressure

drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to

prevent water-source contamination from backflow. In

addition, systems must use a metering pump, like a

positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm

pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials

compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted

with a system interlock.

7. The sprinkler chemigation system must contain function-

al interlocking controls to automatically shut off the

pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor

stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when

the water pressure decreases to the point where pesti-

cide distribution is adversely affected.

8. The irrigation line or water pump must include a

functional pressure switch that will stop the water pump

motor when the water pressure decreases to the point

where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

Chemigation systems connected to public water

systems:

1. Public water system means a system for the provision to

the public of piped water for human consumption if such

system has at least 15 service connections or regularly

serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least

60 days out of the year.

2. Chemigation systems connected to public water

systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure

zone backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equiva-

lent in the water supply line upstream from the point of

pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the

water from the public water system should be

discharged into a reservoir tank before pesticide intro-

duction. There shall be a complete physical break (air

gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top

or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the

inside diameter of the fill pipe.

3. All chemigation systems connected to public water sys-

tems must also follow restrictions listed in the preceding

section.

Cleaning Spray EquipmentClean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong

detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the

manufacturer’s directions, followed by triple rinsing the

equipment before and after applying this product.

Spray Drift Management

It is the responsibility of the applicator to avoid spray drift at

the application site, especially onto nontarget areas. The

interaction of many equipment-related and weather-related

factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applica-

tor and the grower are responsible for considering all these

factors when making decisions.

The applicator must be familiar with and take into account

the information covered in the following spray drift reduc-

tion advisory information.

Controlling Droplet Size. The most effective way to

reduce drift potential is to apply the largest droplets that

provide sufficient coverage and control.

Volume. Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest

practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows

produce larger droplets.

Pressure. DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s

specified pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure

produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are

12

needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing

pressure.

Number of Nozzles. Use the minimum number of nozzles

that provide uniform coverage.

Nozzle Type. Use a nozzle type designed for the intended

application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles

produce larger droplets.

Swath Adjustment. When applications are made with a

crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind.

Therefore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field,

the applicator must compensate for this displacement by

adjusting the path of the application equipment

(e.g. aircraft, ground) upwind. Swath adjustment distance

should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind,

smaller droplets, etc.).

Wind. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3 to

10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and

equipment type, determine drift potential at any given

speed. If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the

applicator must determine if:

1. Conditions of temperature inversion exist, or

2. Stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle

height.

DO NOT make applications into areas of temperature

inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.

NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every

applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and

how they affect spray drift.

Wind Erosion. Avoid treating powdery, dry or light sandy

soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion. Under

these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by

rainfall or irrigation.

Additives

For optimum burndown activity with Verdict® herbicide,

an adjuvant system must be used that includes the

following:

1 MSO-based adjuvant MUST contain at least 60% methylated seed oil.

Poor performance may occur with adjuvants containing less than

60% methylated seed oil.2 DO NOT use less than 1 pint/A of MSO with low-volume (less than

12.5 gallons/A) aerial or ground applications.

When fluid fertilizer is used as the spray carrier, add

1 pint/A of MSO for optimum burndown activity.

The use of AMS fertilizer is highly recommended when mix-

ing Verdict with glyphosate-based herbicides.

DO NOT use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) as a substitute for

COC or MSO, or poor performance on broadleaf weeds

will occur.

When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF

recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and

Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant.

Tank Mixing Information

Verdict may be tank mixed with one or more registered

herbicide products according to the specific tank mixing

instructions in this label and respective product labels.

Refer to the Crop-specific Information for tank mixing

details. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that

all products in the mixtures are registered for the intended

use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and pre-

cautions and directions for use on all product labels

involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most

restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements

of each product in the tank mixture.

Compatibility Test for Mix Components

Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility

jar test.

1. For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups

(800 mL) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates

accordingly. Only use water from the intended source at

the source temperature.

2. Add components in the sequence indicated in the

Mixing Order section using 2 teaspoons for each

pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of labeled use rate

per acre.

3. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between compo-

nent additions.

4. When the components have all been added to the jar, let

the solution stand for 15 minutes.

5. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The

spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, or

fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, or thick

(clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not compati-

ble, repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a

suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is then com-

patible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its

label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix

the ingredients in the same tank.

Mixing Order

Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and applica-

tion until spraying is completed.

1. Water - Fill tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water and start

agitation.

2. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after

each component has been added.

while spraying.

Use Restrictions

• Maximum seasonal use rate - Refer to Crop-specific

Information section for the maximum cumulative

amount of Verdict® herbicide per cropping season. A

cropping season is defined as the period following

harvest of the preceding crop through the harvest of the

planned or current crop.

• If additional dimethenamid-P is applied, DO NOT apply

more than a maximum cumulative amount of 0.98 lb ai/A

dimethenamid-P per cropping season in grain sorghum,

and DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative

amount of 1.125 lbs ai/A dimethenamid-P per cropping

season in field corn, popcorn, processing sweet corn,

and soybean.

• DO NOT apply Verdict after crop emergence because

severe crop injury will occur.

• DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for

domestic purposes.

• Verdict is not for sale, distribution, or use in Nassau

and Suffolk counties in New York State.

Crop Rotation Intervals

Use the following table to determine the proper interval

between Verdict application and the planting of rotational

crops.

1 DO NOT include time when the soil is frozen.2 Edible bean refers to blackeyed pea, crowder pea, cowpea, and

southern pea. Use the Other Crops rotational crop planting interval for

beans not specifically listed in this table.3 The planting interval for these crops and rates is further defined in the

respective Crop-specific Information section of this label. Use the

longer interval within listed ranges for indicated crops grown on coarse-

texture soils with organic matter less than 2.0%.4 Cover crops (winter, spring) may be planted after application of Verdict,

either inter-seeded into the current crop before harvest or after harvest of

the current crop. Depending on the sensitivity of the sown cover crop to

Verdict, stand establishment may be reduced. If cover crops are sown

for conservation purposes less than 4 months after Verdict application,

DO NOT harvest as a food or feed crop, and DO NOT allow livestock to

graze cover crops.

(according to application rates in Crop-specific

Information) may be replanted immediately after crop

failure (because of environmental factors, including

drought, frost, hail, etc.).

• Soybean (according to the application rates in Crop-

specific Information) may be replanted (according to

the intervals in the chart following) after crop failure

(because of environmental factors including drought,

frost, hail, etc).

Replanting Intervals to Soybean Following Crop

Crop-specific Information

This section provides directions for Verdict in specific

crops. Read product information, mixing, application,

weeds controlled, and adjuvant instructions in preceding

sections of the label. Read and follow tank mix product

labels for restrictions, precautions, instructions, and rota-

tional crop restrictions.

Depending on specific crop application directions, Verdict

may be applied for residual control of germinating weed

seedlings before planting (preplant) or after planting but

before crop emergence (preemergence) (refer to Table 1

for list of weeds controlled) or burndown control of

emerged broadleaf weeds (refer to Table 2 for list of weeds

controlled).

Thorough spray coverage is required for control of

emerged broadleaf weeds. High populations and/or varia-

tions in weed size can prevent adequate spray coverage.

Controlling fall-germinated weeds in the spring

(e.g. horseweed/marestail) also requires thorough spray

coverage. Use higher spray volumes (e.g. 15 to 20 gallons

of water per acre) in these situations to increase spray cov-

erage and optimize burndown activity.

Field Corn (grain, seed, silage),

Popcorn, and Sweet Corn

Verdict may be applied preplant surface, preplant incorpo-

rated, or preemergence to corn. Corn in this label refers to

field corn (grown for grain, seed, or silage), popcorn, and

sweet corn (processing varieties only, not including sweet

corn grown for seed or fresh market varieties). Before

applying Verdict to seed corn, processing sweet corn, or

popcorn, verify the selectivity of Verdict on your inbred line

or hybrid with your local seed company (supplier) to help

avoid potential injury to sensitive inbreds or hybrids.

Application Rate

Verdict can be applied as part of a one-pass or planned

sequential (two-pass) weed control program. A one-pass

weed control program should be used where no cultivation

or postemergence herbicide application is anticipated.

One-pass application rates for Verdict when applied alone,

in tank mix, or sequentially are provided in Table 4 for field

corn and Table 5 for popcorn and processing sweet corn.

Table 4. Residual Preemergence Rates of Verdict in

Field Corn

1 Refer to Table 3 for definition of soil texture groups.2 Use on coarse soils with less than 1.5% organic matter may result in

crop injury.

Table 5. Residual Preemergence Rates of Verdict in

Popcorn and Processing Sweet Corn

Verdict use rates applied as the residual component of a

planned sequential (two-pass) program (see Table 6 and

Table 7) will provide control or suppression of listed weeds

(Table 1) through early-to-mid season. For full-season

weed control, apply a labeled postemergence treatment of

Status® herbicide plus glyphosate as the sequential com-

ponent (this applies to field and popcorn, not sweet corn).

Application Timing

Fall Application

For use only in Iowa, Minnesota,

North Dakota, South Dakota, and WisconsinVerdict may be applied in the fall to control weeds in con-

ventional, minimum tillage, or no-till corn production

systems planted the following spring. Apply from 20.0 to

25.0 fluid ounces of Verdict per acre to medium-texture

and fine-texture soils with more than 2.5% organic matter.

Fall applications must be made after October 1.

Broadcast surface apply Verdict in the fall after crop har-

vest when soil temperatures at the 4-inch depth are

sustained at less than 55º F and before the ground freezes.

Tillage operations may be conducted before or after apply-

ing Verdict. When following an application, tillage should

be no more than 2-inches to 3-inches deep to uniformly

incorporate the herbicide into the upper soil surface. When

a sequential application program (fall application followed

by spring application of Verdict) is used, the maximum

combined rate of Verdict that may be applied is 25.0 fluid

ounces per acre per crop season.

Early Preplant Surface Application

(15 to 30 days before planting)Use application rates in Table 4 when making early

preplant surface applications, using the highest application

rate for a given soil texture. Early preplant surface applica-

tions are not recommended on coarse soils, in areas where

average annual rainfall (or rainfall plus irrigation) typically

exceeds 40 inches, or for popcorn or processing sweet

corn. Cultivation or a labeled postemergence herbicide

application may still be required under certain conditions

for complete weed control.

Early preplant surface applications may be applied as part

of a split application program where applications are made

as part of the application timings described in this label.

However, the cumulative total of sequential application

rates must not exceed the maximum labeled rate for a

given soil texture.

Preplant Surface and

Preplant Incorporated Application

(up to 14 days before planting)Verdict can be applied at use rates specified in Table 4,

Table 5, Table 6, or Table 7 to the soil surface or incorpo-

rated up to 14 days before planting on all soil types. For

preplant incorporated applications, apply Verdict and

incorporate into the upper soil surface (1 to 2 inches). Use

a harrow, rolling cultivator, field cultivator, or other

implement for uniform shallow incorporation. Avoid deeper

incorporation or reduced weed control may result.

Preemergence Surface ApplicationApply Verdict at use rates specified in Table 4, Table 5,

Table 6, or Table 7 as a broadcast treatment to the soil

surface after planting and before crop emergence. Verdict

must be applied before crop emergence or injury will occur.

Burndown plus Residual Weed ControlIn addition to residual weed control at any of the applica-

tion timings previously described, Verdict also provides

burndown of emerged broadleaf weeds listed in Table 2.

An adjuvant system (refer to Additives section for details)

is required for optimum burndown activity. Burndown con-

trol of emerged grass weeds or additional broadleaf weeds

not listed on the label requires a tank mix with another her-

bicide (like glyphosate).

Residual preemergence application rates of Verdict can

follow a fall or early preplant burndown application of

Sharpen® herbicide. However, DO NOT apply more than

the cropping seasonal maximum cumulative amount per

acre of saflufenacil from all product sources. A minimum of

14 days is required between Verdict and Sharpen

applications.

Burndown Weed Control OnlyIf limited or no residual broadleaf weed control is desired,

Verdict can be applied at 5.0 fl ozs/A (all soil types) with an

adjuvant system any time before corn emergence for burn-

down of broadleaf weeds listed in Table 2. A burndown

application of Verdict can be followed by residual rates of

Verdict (Table 4, Table 6, or Table 7) or Sharpen.

made with a minimum of 30 days between applications.

DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative amount

of 20.0 fl ozs/A of Verdict per cropping season in seed

corn.

Crop-specific Restrictions

• DO NOT apply Verdict after corn emergence or severe

crop injury will occur.

• DO NOT apply Verdict where an at-planting application

of an organophosphate or carbamate insecticide(s) is

planned and/or has occurred because severe injury may

result. Verdict may be applied with all other classes of

at-planting insecticides including neonicotinoids and

pyrethoids.

EXCEPTION: Verdict may be applied when

Aztec® 2.1% Granular Insecticide, AZTEC® 4.67 G

granular insecticide, Fortress® 5G granular

insecticide, or SmartChoiceTM 5G granular

insecticide is applied at planting as a band, T-band, or

infurrow.

• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative

amount of 0.134 lb per acre of saflufenacil from all prod-

uct sources per cropping season.

• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative

amount of 25.0 fl ozs/A of Verdict per cropping season.

• Corn, popcorn, or sweet corn forage and silage must not

be harvested, fed, or grazed sooner than 80 days after

application.

• There is no required (preharvest) interval between a pre-

plant surface, preplant incorporated, or preemergence

application of Verdict and the harvest of field corn grain,

popcorn, seed corn, and sweet corn ears. Corn forage,

stover, and sweet corn cannery waste may be fed to live-

stock after harvest.

Crop-specific Precautions

• Verdict application may result in delayed corn

emergence and stunting under certain environmental

conditions including cool temperatures, excessive rain-

fall/irrigation, and/or persistent wet soil conditions

occurring after application.

• Ensure the corn seed row is closed. Soil conditions that

cause poor seed furrow closure and coverage may result

in delayed corn emergence or stunting.

• Verdict applied to processing sweet corn planted at a

depth of 1/2 inch or less may result in crop injury.

Tank Mixes

Verdict may be tank mixed* or applied sequentially with

one or more of, but not limited to, the following herbicide

products:

• Clarity® herbicide

• Sharpen® herbicide

• Status® herbicide

• Zidua® herbicide

• atrazine

• glyphosate (e.g. Roundup® herbicide)

NOTE: Refer to tank mix product labels to confirm the

respective tank mix products are registered for use on spe-

cific corn types; not all corn products are registered for use

on seed corn, popcorn, and processing sweet corn.

* Refer to Tank Mixing Information section for additional

instructions.

Fallow

Verdict may be used as a burndown treatment to control

broadleaf weeds at any time of the year during the fallow

period following crop harvest and before the following crop

is planted.

Application Rate and Timing

Apply Verdict as a broadcast burndown spray at 5.0 to

10.0 fl ozs/A plus recommended adjuvants (refer to

Additives section for details). For best product

performance, apply Verdict when broadleaf weeds are

small and actively growing (refer to Table 2 for list of weeds

controlled). Thorough coverage of existing weeds is essen-

tial and higher spray volumes may be needed for best

performance.

Sequential applications may be made with a minimum of

14 days between applications; DO NOT apply more than a

maximum cumulative amount of 25.0 fl ozs/A of Verdict

per cropping season.

For residual weed control, Verdict may be applied at

10.0 to 25.0 fl ozs/A.

Specific rotational crop intervals must be observed

between an application of Verdict and planting of the

following crop (see Crop Rotation Intervals section for

crop rotation restrictions).

Tank Mixes

Broad-spectrum burndown control of grass weeds and/or

additional broadleaf weeds requires a tank mix with anoth-

er herbicide. Verdict may be tank mixed* or applied

sequentially with one or more of, but not limited to, the fol-

lowing herbicide products:

• Clarity

• Distinct® herbicide

• glyphosate (e.g. Roundup)

* Refer to Tank Mixing Information section for additional

instructions.

Grain Sorghum

Verdict® herbicide may be applied preplant surface, pre-

plant incorporated, or preemergence to grain sorghum. All

Verdict applications must only be made to sorghum seed

that has been properly treated by the seed company with

an approved chloroacetamide herbicide safener or severe

injury may occur.

Under high soil moisture and/or cool conditions, Verdict

application may cause temporary stunting or leaf wrapping

of grain sorghum. Grain sorghum normally outgrows these

symptoms within 10 to 14 days.

Application Rate

Application rates for Verdict in grain sorghum depend on

use pattern.

See Table 8 for application rates in grain sorghum for

Verdict when applied alone, in tank mix, or sequentially.

Table 8. Residual Rates of Verdict in Grain Sorghum

1 Refer to Table 3 for definition of soil texture groups.

For grain sorghum grown in Nebraska and

South Dakota, see Table 9 for application rates for

Verdict when applied alone, in tank mix, or sequentially.

Table 9. Residual Rates1 of Verdict in Grain Sorghum

in Nebraska and South Dakota

1 Application rates in Table 9 eliminate early season weed interference.

Full-season weed control requires a labeled tank mix partner, sequential

postemergence herbicide application, and/or cultivation.2 Refer to Table 3 for definition of soil texture groups.

Application Use Rate for Tank Mix ProgramFor grain sorghum grown in all states, apply Verdict at

10.0 fl ozs/A in a tank mix with other dimethenamid-P-

containing herbicides; see Table 10 for use rates.

Table 10. Use Rates for Dimethenamid-P when Tank

Mixed with Verdict in Grain Sorghum1,4

1 Application rates in Table 10 eliminate early season weed interference. 2 Refer to Table 3 for definition of soil texture groups.3 Refer to the Outlook® herbicide label for conversion of use rates to

fl ozs/A.4 A tank mix with atrazine may also be applied. Refer to atrazine product

labels for additional details on use rates in grain sorghum. Full-season

weed control requires atrazine up to the maximum atrazine rate allowed

for the soil texture and/or field.

Application Timing

Early Preplant Surface Application

(15 to 30 days before planting)Use application rates in Table 8, Table 9, and Table 10

when making early preplant surface applications, using the

highest application rate for a given soil texture. Early pre-

plant surface applications are not recommended on coarse

soils or in areas where average annual rainfall (or rainfall

plus irrigation) typically exceeds 40 inches. Cultivation or a

labeled postemergence herbicide application may still be

required under certain conditions for complete weed

control.

Early preplant surface applications may be applied as part

of a split application program where applications are made

as part of the application timings described in this label.

However, the cumulative total of sequential application

rates must not exceed the maximum labeled rate for a

given soil texture.

Preplant Surface and

Preplant Incorporated Application

(up to 14 days before planting)Verdict can be applied at use rates specified in Table 8,

Table 9, and Table 10 to the soil surface or incorporated

up to 14 days before planting on all soil types. For preplant

incorporated applications, apply Verdict and incorporate

into the upper soil surface (1 to 2 inches). Use a harrow,

rolling cultivator, field cultivator, or other implement for uni-

form shallow incorporation. Avoid deeper incorporation or

reduced weed control may result.

Preemergence Surface ApplicationApply Verdict at use rates specified in Table 8, Table 9,

and Table 10 as a broadcast treatment to the soil surface

after planting and before crop emergence. Verdict must be

applied before crop emergence or injury will occur.

Burndown plus Residual Weed ControlIn addition to residual weed control at any of the applica-

tion timings previously described, Verdict® herbicide also

provides burndown of emerged broadleaf weeds listed in

Table 2. An adjuvant system (refer to Additives section for

details) is required for optimum burndown activity.

Burndown control of emerged grass weeds or additional

broadleaf weeds not listed on the label requires a tank mix

with another herbicide (like glyphosate).

Residual preemergence application rates of Verdict can

follow a fall or early preplant burndown application of

Sharpen® herbicide. However, DO NOT exceed the crop-

ping seasonal maximum cumulative amount of saflufenacil

per acre from all product sources. A minimum of 30 or

60 days is required between Verdict applications and

Sharpen applications (depending on Sharpen use rate;

see Sharpen product label).

Burndown Weed Control OnlyVerdict can be applied at 5.0 to 10.0 fl ozs/A (all soil types)

with an adjuvant system (refer to the Additives section for

details) any time before sorghum emergence for burndown

of weeds listed in Table 2. A burndown application of

Verdict can be followed by residual rates of Verdict.

Sequential applications must be separated by at least

14 days. However, DO NOT apply more than the cropping

seasonal maximum cumulative amount per acre of

saflufenacil from all product sources.

Crop-specific Restrictions

• DO NOT apply Verdict after grain sorghum emergence

or severe crop injury will occur.

• DO NOT apply Verdict where an at-planting application

of an organophosphate or carbamate insecticide(s) is

planned and/or has occurred or severe injury may result.

• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative

amount of 0.111 lb per acre of saflufenacil from all prod-

uct sources per cropping season.

• DO NOT apply more than a maximum cumulative

amount of 25.0 fl ozs/A of Verdict per cropping season.

• Verdict is not registered for use on sweet or forage

sorghum.

• Sorghum forage and silage can be harvested, fed, or

grazed 70 or more days after application.

Tank Mixes

Verdict may be tank mixed* or applied sequentially with

one or more of, but not limited to, the following herbicide

products:

• Clarity® herbicide (preplant only)

• Outlook® herbicide

• Sharpen

• atrazine

• glyphosate (e.g. Roundup® herbicide)

* Refer to Tank Mixing Information section for additional

instructions.

Soybean

Verdict may be applied in the fall and/or in the spring as a

preplant or preemergence burndown application in

conventional and reduced-till or no-till soybean for

broadleaf weed control. An adjuvant system (refer to

Additives section for details) is required for optimum burn-

down activity.

Under high soil moisture and/or cool conditions, Verdict

application may cause temporary stunting or leaf

chlorosis/necrosis of soybean. Soybean normally outgrows

these symptoms within 10 to 14 days.

Not for use in soybean in California.

Application Rate and Timing

Fall ApplicationApply Verdict at 5.0 to 10.0 fl ozs/A (0.022 to

0.044 lb ai/A of saflufenacil) for burndown broadleaf weed

control after the prior crop is harvested. For residual weed

control, Verdict may be applied up to 15.0 fl ozs/A.

Application must be made before first killing frost. Fall

application can be made to all soil types.

Spring ApplicationFor all spring applications of Verdict, refer to Soybean

Planting Interval information for minimum planting

intervals.

Apply Verdict early preplant through preemergence at

5.0 fl ozs/A for burndown broadleaf weed control before

crop emergence.

For early preplant enhanced burndown broadleaf weed

control, apply Verdict at 7.5 or 10.0 fl ozs/A.

Sequential ApplicationApply Verdict following a fall or early preplant burndown

application of Sharpen OR Verdict (at 5.0 to
